We built a Kanban board over a weekend because nothing off the shelf fit how we actually work. A year later, it's still open on a second monitor.
What a weekend bought us
A board that knows our projects, our clients, and our weird column names. No subscription, no integrations to babysit.
- Drag-to-reorder with keyboard support
- Per-card checklists that survive refresh
- A scratch column that we empty on Fridays
It wasn't meant to outlive the weekend. The lesson keeps being the same: the best internal tool is the ugly one you use.
